Scotland's Glen Sannox ferry, launched as a “green” LNG-powered vessel, emits more greenhouse gases than its diesel predecessor due to underestimated methane slip. Despite improved local air quality, real-world data shows LNG's climate impact is worse over short timeframes. The project highlights how optimistic assumptions and delayed construction turned a sustainability effort into a cautionary tale about transitional fuels and lifecycle emissions.
Science Under Siege asserts the undermining of science is not accidental but largely driven by ideological, economic, and political forces. It points fingers at special interests, political actors, and media amplifying doubt for gain. It also critiques how scientists themselves sometimes contribute by failing to communicate clearly or by letting funding and institutional pressures interfere with objectivity. The result: erosion of public trust, polarized discourse, and weakened science-based policy.
PNY's Ponie P2, the world's first electric cargo motorcycle, completed successful trials across Tel Aviv, Milan, and other urban locations with partners like DHL and postal services. Manufactured in Israel, the P2 features a top speed of 100 km/h, high payload capacity, modular cargo options, and a 160 km range. Compared to gas-powered delivery vehicles used by Wolt - a Finnish delivery platform - it offers lower fuel and maintenance costs, making it a cost-effective, zero-emission solution for last-mile logistics.
Post-quantum security protects electric vehicles from future quantum threats that could break current encryption. As EVs rely on secure software updates, telemetry, and identity systems, automakers are adopting quantum-resistant algorithms. With NIST's 2024 standards and cloud providers piloting migration, the shift is underway to safeguard long-lived vehicles and data. Drivers may not notice, but it's vital for safety and trust.
The Yangwang U9 Xtreme, BYD's electric hypercar, shattered the production speed record at 308.4 mph, surpassing Bugatti. Powered by a quad-motor e4 Platform delivering nearly 3,000 hp, it combines extreme speed with advanced torque vectoring and active suspension. Only 30 units will be built. Yangwang, a new Chinese luxury brand, signals China's rise in EV performance, challenging legacy supercar makers on their own turf.
Rivian's Infotainment Revolution: AI at the Wheel, No Smartphone Required
11 Oct 2025 | Rivian's infotainment system replaces CarPlay with a native AI-powered interface backed by Amazon and Volkswagen. It offers smart navigation, voice control, music/video streaming, and cloud-based personalization. AM radio is excluded, prompting bipartisan legislation to mandate its return. Autonomous driving integration is planned, with updates rolling out in 2025 and full features expected in the R2 by 2026.
Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
09 Oct 2025 | Ferrari's Elettrica EV delivers over 1,000 hp via quad motors, hitting 0-100 km/h in 2.5s with a 330+ mile range. Its 122 kWh battery sits low for balance, paired with active suspension and rear steering. Designed by LoveFrom, the four-door GT aims to preserve Ferrari's emotional DNA. Priced around $580K, it launches in 2026 in Europe and the U.S., with hybrids and ICE models still dominating until 2030
